dear andrew and christa.

remember when i got my wisdom teeth out? and i was texting andrew and he asked when you guys could come visit and i told him to bring gifts or you're not welcome. i was on pain killers... i'm not usually that rude. so you got a victoria's secret bag and filled it with ketchup and mustard and gave it to me and it was sick. i didn't enjoy that gift, but i guess i got what i deserved. but thanks for coming to visit me anyway.

dear bigelow.

remember the night before you moved away to college? when we decided to go for a bike ride at like 12:30 am. that was the best bike ride of my life. it was great fun. and we rode around stampin up, and that cemetery memorial place. and then down that dirt road in the field, and then through those people's back yard. fun.

dear kristen and adam.

remember the tootsie roll "yes"? that looked like feces... that may have been a little inappropriate, but it was funny, so that's okay. the best part was making it in adam's kitchen. and then his dad walked in, and adam blamed me for it all. and his dad gave me the dirtiest look. i felt so stupid. ha ha. oh well.

dear loni.

remember when we were little and you and your friends would come play at our house? and i would bug you guys, so you'd take me up to your room, sit me on a chair, and tie me to it with yarn? then you'd shut the door and go play. i just want to point out that despite you doing that to me, i still love you.

dear lexi.

remember that one time when lacey got her wisdom teeth out? so we decided to go buy her gifts. and we got lots of stupid stuff from walgreens, including bronx street heroes, which ended up being rated r... oops. and the video on how to play poker. and that cd with the love songs that you thought you knew, but you really didn't. and when we gave her that stuff, she was so grateful for it because she was on drugs. and we also got a photo album for her and went and took pictures of us to put in it, but then we ran out of time, so we didn't. ha ha... funny.

dear christa and adam.

remember when we were playing that game that one night that i liked and you guys didn't? then adam wanted to draw on christa's eyelids, and all heck broke loose. my face hurt so bad after scrubbing that crap off my eyelids. but once again, it was worth it.

dear kristen and jessie.

remember pineapples? our first pineapple ditching was to you jessie. good thing we got the right house, eh? ha, i don't think we could have afforded 6 pineapples to make sure we got the right one. i have to say this was our best pineapple ditching. i hope you agree kristen.

dear adam.

remember that one time we killed chickens? i didn't dress for the occasion, and i still have chicken blood on my moccassins. it was so freakin cold. but it was so much fun. that woman was crazy. remember how she said lots of weird things, like "this is why women are the way they are!" and your bother was like, "...because of the chickens?" and then she stuck the water faucet up one of the chicken butts, let it bulge with water, then stabbed it and the insides squirted on my face? that was gross. and i was just like, wow... this woman is insane. and then you became facebook friends with the daughter. wow. that was great. and we only got paid 15 bucks for it... but it was still great fun. i just wish we would've kept the feet and put them in jello. ha, that reminds me of jello, and HER keys... i'll have to put up another post about that some other time.

dear mary.

remember the alcove? thanks for walking 20 miles with me, and i'm sorry i'm a failure. but at least my nephew vomited on you. thanks for still being my friend after all of these things that could easily cause you to hate me.

dear brittany, bigelow, jessie, and andrew

remember when we floated down the river in a swimming pool? we couldn't find any tubes, so we bought a pool from walmart. it took about an hour to blow it up with our measly lungs, but we achieved sufficient buoyance.

then we took it out on the little pond thing, and it was FREEZING. and bigelow splashed me with mud and made me upset. but i got over it. then we went up the canyon and finally found the canal thing after like an hour of looking for it. so we got in and started floating and life was great... for a little while. there were these... women... on tubes that we came across. i don't remember exactly what happened, it was all a blur, but i remember that it was all their fault that our swimming pool popped. but we thought it was no big deal, and the three other sections of our vessel would keep us afloat. eventually, water started coming in. ice cold water. it was pure pain. especially when rocks hit our butts. ouch. and then all heck broke loose when bigelow started peeing in the water that we were sitting in. jessie literally stood up and ran to the other side of the pool, pushing the bottom of the pool down farther, so that we all were bombarded on our bottoms by sharp river stones. finally we got out and blew it up some more, then finished our journey down the river. it was great. my favorite part was when the rope was hanging from a cliff wall above us, and i yelled, GRAB IT! so jessie tried her hardest to grab it, and we were all desperate to get a hold of the rope, and she finally got it, but the current was too strong and it slipped out of her hand. and then we realized... how would grabbing the rope even help? it was pointless, but i'm so glad we tried so hard.

dear kristee.

remember that one time when we were bored? so we went into my garage and got out ALL my halloween costumes, and put them on. at once. then we made adam come over to surprise him with our hideous outfits, and i think he was so upset that we did that. judging by the look on his face at least... ha ha. let's do that again sometime.

dear becca.

remember how we would always gang up on caitlyn to bug her? we were so good at that. too bad she had to graduate a year before me, and you had to move away. i miss you.

dear bigelow, christa, and andrew.

remember new years eve when we sledded down the icy hill on the air mattress? and after going down like twice, andrew almost got his car towed. oops. then we had to keep pumping the mattress up every time we walked back up the hill, and then we finally were smart enough to think, hey... maybe there's holes in it and that's why it keeps going flat. so we flipped it over and discovered like 4 giant gashes in the bottom. and we just thought we were all fat and pushing the air out of who knows where. Silly us. That was fun. but the last run down the hill almost killed me... ouch. i kind of don't like remembering that part.

dear kayla.

remember when we went to the school play, then went to arctic circle, then to walgreens to get dots? and we took like one hour to decide what kind of candy to get. it was like a life or death decision and we made the HUGEST deal out of it. then we finally decided, and we were buying them, and the kid working there was telling me all the things he would need to steal money from my checking account, and we were kind of creeped out so we ran out the door while he was still talking to us. then we discovered that tropical dots aren't all they cracked up to be. this one tastes like a palm tree! and this one tastes like sand... but this one tastes like the ocean! yay. then tessa's house... that was an adventure. p.s. have i ever told you that i have a skinny esophagus? there's a lot of things about my body i haven't told you... ha!

dear kristen.

remember when we roasted donuts? that was the best idea ever. was it mine or yours? who cares, it was the best. once, we kissed through a window. the end.

dear everybody.

i am leaving on a mission soon (to italy). i have created this blog for two reasons. one, i am bored at work. and two, because i love reminiscing, and that's what this blog is all about. i don't want to forget all the great times i've had with all my friends and family. so when i get home, hopefully i can look this up and remember. besides, what else am i going to do at work for four hours when nobody comes in? well... i guess there are plenty of things i could do, but this is fun.
